I think getting off your phone is really important when you're unemployed. It's so easy to just become an all-day scroller when you have nothing to do, and I found myself in the deepest depression when I was doing that. Now I try to get out and go to coffee shops to apply to jobs where I'm not quite so isolated.

Yeah I try to get off my phone more in general, I’ve deleted most of my social media as it was just rotting my brain.

One thing you can do is avoid hanging out with the Debbie Downer types. I know that sounds harsh, but it's just reality. I used to hang out with some people who just had a very pessimistic outlook on their careers and I realized it was messing with my own head. Be careful about who you hang out with or who you listen to, it's enough to live your own life without being dragged down by someone else's negative thoughts.

Yeah that could help, I’ve been trying to change my own outlook as well and tried to be a lot more positive.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
